Hey All,
I figured I'd throw this out as a very long shot.Not sure if anyone is in the area or has any info.
WAZN 1470 Watertown, MA has had NO audio content, no automatic ID on the hour for 5 days (or more). Transmitter is in dead carrier.
A REAL shame if they vanish for good,it was commercial free and the exact music mix I like - at a high signal level for use with the crystal set.
No answer at the local number , corporate in NYC is giving me a bit of run around. We'll see IF they call me back. If not I'll try one more call and then maybe keep check the frq now and then .
Beyond that dunno. I did hear some super weak Dx behind it. Several NE US possibilities , but not even close to being able to ID.

This is per AI OVERVIEW:
"AI Overview
As of June 2025, WAZN (1470 AM) is still broadcasting. It is an ethnic radio station in the Greater Boston market, licensed to Watertown.
However, there have been some changes in its operations:
Closure of Local Studio: The local studio in Woburn that served WAZN and its co-owned station WLYN 1360 has been closed.
Layoffs: The manager and chief operator at the Woburn studio were laid off.
Automated Programming: The station is now broadcasting an automated "60s-'70s-'80s oldies/classic hits" format originating from New York City. This is likely a placeholder format while the owner, Multicultural Radio Broadcasting, considers other options.
Spanish Christian Programming: As of February 1, 2016, WAZN broadcasts a Spanish Christian language radio format.
It appears the station is currently in a state of transition regarding its format and operations, but it has not ceased broadcasting entirely".
